Uptown Improvements - Inquiries
About Real Estate Invest
mentS-Capital Coming.

Persons who have taken any notice OF
the different properties in the city within
the past few weeks have seen here and
there a new residence going up. IN other
places old stores being torn down, and IN
still other localities all kinds of property
improvements which indicate that there
have been some lively changes in the
ownership in much of the real estate in
this city within a very short period.
Looking about one of the first changes
which attracts attention is the tearing
down of the immense billboard just
north of the Walker House, and upon
INQUIRY it is found that this is the site
chosen for the new
KARRICK BUILDING.
On this valuable piece of ground, which
has been idle for so many years, there
will be erected handsome three-story
brick building. 1t will be 291axll0 feet
on the ground, and will run up consid-
cradle distance into the air. The lower
part will be fixed up as a large store, and
the upper stories will contain many
handsomely fitted offices. The architnc-
ture will be modern, and the structure is
bound to be big improvement to that
neighborhood.
OTHER BUSINESS BLOCKS.
The new Eldridge building heretofore
described in THE DEMOCRAT will be be-
gun early next month and pushed to an
early completion.
L I,oo
between the old Council House and the
Saunders building is being torn down
to-day and will be used as the site for
another building.
Mr.. Thomas w. Jennings is contem-
plating the erection of fine three-story
block Just west of the Deseret Bank and
DEVELOPMENTS may be looked for at an
early date.
The improvements on the Stringfellow
building on Main street will convert the
place into new house.
The Cullen Hotel will soon be among
the finished monuments of Salt Lakes
rapid improvements.
There is considerable talk OF several
new buildings on Second South street,
which has so many excellent sites.
NEW Residences.
One of the best indications of the fact
that Salt Lake has been, or is about to
be, struck by boom is erection so many
new residences.
The Conkling house just completed on
South Temple street is by far the hand
soonest residence in this city.
w. S. Mccormick has bought the old
Darlington property on North Temple
street, and will put $4,000 into resi-
dence there.
Secretary Thomas will shortly erect a
fine residence just west of the old White
House on Brigham street.
Mr.. Cunningham, a well-known mining
man, has begun the erection of a fine
residence on First Street Hill.
Then there are residences of more or
less size going up in all parts of the city.
Constant inquiries are being made by
outside parties for property here, of
which more will be said from time to
time as new developments are made.
THE BOOM IS HERE,
And no man who is interested in the
welfare of this city and Territory can
afford to forget it. The price of real
estate is so per cent. higher than it was
two years ago, and it is bound to increase
from now until Salt Lake becomes the
vast cosmopolitan city for which nature
has designed it.
